A 7155 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for health insurance coverage for nutritional care provided through licensed nutritionists

This bill would require health insurance plans to cover nutritional care provided by licensed nutritionists. Currently, insurance typically covers services from doctors or other medical professionals, but this amendment would explicitly add licensed nutritionists to the list of covered providers under state insurance law. The change would apply to all health insurance plans subject to the state's insurance regulations. It directly affects insurance companies (requiring them to provide this coverage) and patients seeking nutritional counseling from qualified professionals.
